Ficool

Chapter 24 - With heartfelt feelings

 A kiss with Keima-kun.

 At the same time, I felt like the confusion in my mind was clearing away.

 When I turned around, there was something slimy and gooey there, which looked like a runaway spirit.

"Okay, I'll leave the rest to you."

"Yes, leave it to me."

 I feel so much lighter now compared to just a moment ago.

 Even though I've been thinking about Keima-kun constantly, both just a moment ago and right now, I feel incredibly lighthearted.

 Was it really just an addiction, as Keima-kun said?

 Oh no, I can't think about that later! Right now I have to do something about this runaway spirit in front of me!

"Hasn't Elsie arrived yet?"

"That bug-monster, late at a time like this!?"

 "...That's it, binding magic! I should be able to summon him using that!"

"Um... here goes!"

 If you concentrate enough, something will fly out of the pendant and restrain the runaway soul.

"Gwooooooooooooooo"

"Ugh, ugh..."

"Are you okay?"

"This might be a little tough..."

 Maintaining the binding spell is quite difficult.

 Is it because the runaway souls are running wild?

"Nakagawa, can you sing while maintaining the binding spell?"

 "It's okay if this place isn't soundproofed!"

"...I'll give it a try!"

 While regulating my breathing, I select the songs I'll use in my head.

 ...I still have the memories. When will they disappear?

 What happens after you finish singing the song?

 In that case, until then, let's sing with all the love we have.

"♪~♪♪ ♪♪~♪♪ ♪♪~♪♪~♪~♪~♪♪~

 ♪♪~♪♪~♪♪~ ♪♪♪♪~♪♪~♪♪~」

 The runaway soul seems to be weakening, as the resistance transmitted through the binding magic gradually decreases.

"♪♪~♪♪ ♪♪♪♪~♪~

 ♪♪♪♪~♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪~♪~♪♪♪~」

"I've just arrived! I'll put up a barrier!"

"You're late! What were you doing?!"

"I'm so sorry!!"

"♪~♪♪ ♪♪~♪♪♪ ♪♪~♪♪~♪♪~♪♪~

 ♪♪~♪♪~♪♪~ ♪♪♪♪~♪~♪♪~」

 Elsie's barrier is erected while she's singing.

 It looks like it's time to release the binding spell.

"♪♪~♪♪ ♪♪♪~"

 ♪♪~♪♪♪~♪♪♪♪♪♪~♪♪~♪♪~♪♪~」

 What would happen if I stopped singing in the middle?

 Perhaps memories never truly disappear.

 ...But I have to sing it to the end.

"♪♪♪♪♪♪~♪♪ ♪♪♪~♪~♪~

 ♪♪~♪♪ ♪♪~♪♪ ♪♪~♪♪~♪~♪~♪~♪~♪♪

 ♪~♪♪♪ ♪♪♪♪~♪~ ♪♪~♪♪~」

 Because if I can't finish singing here, if I can't live up to Keima's trust,

 I could never be Keima's fiancée!

"♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ ♪♪~ ♪~♪♪~"

 I believe in miracles.

"♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪"

 Yes, this is my love call.

"...to you"

 The moment the first verse of the song was finished, the runaway soul vanished.

"Thank you for your hard work. You did a great job."

"Yes, I'll do my best..."

 Huh? I feel a little dizzy...

"Hey, Nakagawa!?"

 My consciousness is fading...

 ...I see, so it's over.

 When I wake up next, I'm sure I won't be there anymore.

 ...but...

 I'm sure we'll meet again, Keima.
